Case Study: The Shotgun House saves time and maintains 5-star cleanliness with Breezeway

The Shotgun House chooses Breezeway + Hospitable from day one to ensure success

The Shotgun House, run by Alex and Kimberly Dixon in Waco, TX, is a short-term rental business that needed a better way to manage operations from day one. When they acquired the property, they lacked a property management system, operational software, and a streamlined way to communicate with their cleaner, all while balancing full-time jobs and plans to grow their real estate portfolio. They chose Breezeway along with Hospitable to build a scalable foundation.

With Breezeway, The Shotgun House automated turnover workflows, assigned cleaning tasks and checklists after each checkout, notified the cleaner and hosts automatically, and streamlined cleaner payments. Breezeway helped them save about 7 hours per week, maintain a 5-star cleanliness rating on Airbnb, and improve efficiency across multiple booking channels. According to the owners, Breezeway was a “lifesaver” that made operations easier, more reliable, and ready for growth.
